  • Dear Ms Gardner
    Select Committee on Wind Turbines Submission 208 - Attachment 1 [Reference No] Ms.Ann Gardner By email to: Dear Ms Gardner, Thank you for your email to the Chair of the Clean Energy Regulator, dated 18 November 2014, making a formal complaint about noise and vibration from the Macarthur Wind Farm. The matters raised by you are more appropriately addressed to the Victorian Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (formerly known as the Victorian Department of Planning and Community Development). They are not matters that fall within the powers of the Clean Energy Regulator (the Regulator) under the various Commonwealth legislation administered by the Regulator. The Clean Energy Regulator is an economic regulator. With respect to the Renewable Energy Target, the Regulator regulates both the supply of certificates (by ensuring the integrity of their creation by renewable power stations) and the demand and surrender of those certificates (by ensuring liable electricity retailers surrender the correct number of certificates). The Clean Energy Regulator is only empowered to administer relevant Commonwealth laws (eg to ensure that a wind farm operator complies with its responsibilities under relevant Commonwealth legislation that the Regulator administers). It cannot interfere in state-based activities. If a wind farm is not complying with State/Territory laws (eg as to planning requirements and noise control etc), it is a matter for the relevant State/Territory a.uthority to address. The Macarthur Wind Farm is an accredited power station under the Renewable Energy (Electricity} Act 2000 (the Act) and the Renewable Energy (Electricif:W Regulations 2001 (the Regulations). Once an eligible power station has been accredited, it remains accredited unless the Regulator decides to suspend the accreditation under Division 11 of Part 2 of the Act {being sections 30D and 30E and the circumstances prescribed for the purposes of subsection 30E(5) in regulation 20D of the Regulations).
